The FCC is planning a June 2020 mid-band spectrum auction — and it could enable carriers to provide wider-reaching 5G networks:
This is an excerpt from a story delivered exclusively to Business Insider Intelligence Connectivity & Tech subscribers.The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to auction previously unavailable mid-band spectrum to telecoms, which could accelerate 5G rollouts in the US.the FCC will vote to seek comment on draft procedures for a spectrum auction for 70 MHz of the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, which would be set for June 25, 2020.
Additional mid-band spectrum will also help bridge the US' digital divide by enabling carriers to efficiently deploy a 5G network in areas where they plan to offer 5G FWA services. 5G's fast wireless data speeds have opened up the opportunity for mobile operators to match broadband speeds for home internet and provide a competing service.
5G FWA will enable telecoms to compete with traditional home internet companies like Comcast and Charter and can give rural households more connectivity options: Nearly one-third of US households either have no service or lack a second option for wired broadband service, and that share jumps to over 61% in rural households.Mid-band spectrum is scarce in the US, which is costing the country an economic opportunity.
